The color Yellow - Mandela

Today I was watching a special about Nelson Mandela's life and but really caught my attention is the presence of the color yellow and yellow ribbons during one of his speeches.

Quote

Culture of Yellow:For years yellow ribbons were worn as a sign of hope as women waited from their men to come marching home from war. Today, they are still used to welcome home loved ones. Its use for hazard signs creates an association between yellow and danger, although not quite as dangerous as red.If someone is yellow it means they are a coward so yellow can have a negative meaning in some cultures.

Yellow is for mourning in Egypt and actors of the Middle Ages wore yellow to signify the dead. Yet yellow has also represented courage (Japan), merchants (India), and peace.

I did not really know the significance of yellow, I thought it was for jelousy or something but yesterday My mom saw the video of CM on TMZ and she said: hez wearing a yellow tie, yellow signifies a return! well she did not know about him only wearing yellow or red ties! and she was not a believer but i think Im about to convert her LOL!

Well..on thursday 11th Nelson Mandela was commemorating the 20th anniversary of Nelson Mandela's release from prison after 27 years (FREEDOM), so maybe the yellow color is related with that news. :roll:

I think the yellow we see everywhere regarding to Michael also signifies a return. The yellow during that Mandela speech (I can't remember wich one) signiefied his return and Michael really admires Mandela so I see a little connection ;)
